Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book the work for spring and fall, when leaves and dust build up fastest on the house.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Window washing and gutter work are quoted together, so doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Condos and residential properties are quoted the same way, by stories and glass count.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A high window count, or oversized panes, adds glass to wash, and every window gets its sill and frame checked as it is done. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more work before any water can run through them, and clearing gutters and downspouts takes the most time on a neglected house. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Heavy grime under the sills adds time, and the crew works to remove dirt from frames and sills before the glass is done. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a regular cleaning, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is a recent Manville job that shows how our window cleaning services and washing services work in practice. The owner had a two-story house with a sprinkler line aimed at the front glass and a gutter run that had not been opened in several years. What we found was a leaf mat in the back run and runoff staining under the front sill. We cleared the gutters, flushed every downspout, and wiped the sills after the glass was done. Your number comes from the stories and window count at your house, so text us a photo of the front or call (866) 435-6328, and we will reply with a figure.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
Across New Jersey, most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The timing follows the pollen and the leaves, and it is the same for a residential and commercial building. In the spring the pollen film settles on south-facing glass, and the sticky paste clogs the gutters, which is when we see the most buildup. That film needs more than a plain rinse, so the cleaning solutions we pick depend on how long it has been there. In the fall the leaf load comes down all at once, and the wind and storm season can move the dates a little either way.
Some houses need a third visit to keep up with regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit collect in the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more dust on the glass, and the gutters carry it down with the rain.
You will notice a residential window needs cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and picture windows show it first. Dust and grit land on both interior and exterior glass, but this visit covers the outside only. You will notice that the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspouts. Those are the signs that mean it is time for a visit.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. To schedule service, tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will give you a number before anyone is scheduled. Some window cleaners only do glass, which is why we do both jobs together. Lead time depends on the season, and the calendar fills up in the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and dust peak. If you book early, you will get a slot more easily.
Our crew is a professional window cleaning team, and our cleaning services cover single-family homes, townhouses and multi-story buildings in town. Clean windows and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and both show from the street. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so the number covers the outside only. We call before we come, so you know when to expect us. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but the crew asks for the side gate unlocked. Clogged gutters are the most common reason for water damage at the eaves, so clearing them on schedule protects the fascia and the siding below.
Yes, it is the same crew. We do both jobs in one visit, gutters first, glass last, so the glass does not get dirty again from the runoff.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and the number of stories, and we will give you a figure by phone or text.
Yes. A residential window collects dust, rain spotting and sprinkler spots on the outside, and those do not come off with indoor cleaning. Cleaning the outside is what keeps the glass clear in the sun.
Across New Jersey most of our customers book spring and fall, after the pollen and leaves have come down.
No. Gutters first and glass last means the runoff is already gone before we touch the windows. The reason is simple: if the glass were done first, the gutter work would splash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and every window on the outside gets the same check. Tracks are included in the visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, and our work on residential properties does not include pressure washing. We do not clean inside the windows.
You do not need to be home. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
